Carolyn Hong (she/her), Coordinating Editor at ESPN

Carolyn Hong is a lead editor/content manager for ESPN’s universal news group. In her role, she manages a large network of sports insiders, reporters, writers and story editors to produce content – including breaking news – for multiple platforms including SportsCenter and ESPN.com. Prior to that, she served as coordinating producer in ESPN’s Investigative/News Enterprise Unit, overseeing all aspects of production of longform investigative, issue-oriented content.

She is a member of AAJA (Asian American Journalists Association) and co-founded the AAJA Sports Task Force with a mission of growing the pipeline of Asian Americans pursuing careers in sports journalism.  Under her leadership, the Sports Task Force created a monthly mentor chat (which allows students and new sports journalists to learn about the career paths of veteran journalists), developed two scholarships and an internship to ESPN to offer AAPI students interested in sports journalism and fostered the growth of a solid national network of AAPI sports journalists. Carolyn is also a champion of Diversity and Inclusion at ESPN, where she has actively participated in the growth and development of D&I initiatives.

She got her start at ESPN as a Coordinating Producer for ESPNews before moving to ESPN’s morning SportsCenters.  Prior to ESPN, she was an investigative news producer at KCBS-TV, WLWT-TV and WTTG-TV.  In her nearly 30 years in broadcast journalism, Carolyn’s work in local news has been recognized by numerous awards, including George Foster Peabody, Alfred I. duPont, and  Edward R. Murrow awards and seven regional Emmys.

A graduate of Reed College in Portland, OR, Carolyn earned her B.A. in English Literature.  A native of Maryland, she is a die-hard Baltimore Orioles fan and roots for Washington, D.C. sports teams.  Now a resident of Connecticut, Carolyn spends her free time with her husband (an electrical engineer and U.S. Navy veteran) working out and playing with her three dogs.
